Review: 1000 Bone Cylinder Explosion – Bind
Take a moment to admire that artwork. That alone deserves an 11/10.
Review: The Silver – Ward of Roses
Horrendous and Crypt Sermon members team up for one of the most daring black metal records of the year
Review: Vauruvã – Manso Queimor Dacordado
Raw atmospheric black metal with a ton of heart, enthralling melodies, and a unique spin on the genre.
Review: Melancholy – Waiting for Darkness
Would you like some jazz with your blast beats?
Review: Teitan – Vákuum
This is an oppressive, murky slab of acerbic and ritualistic black metal. The vocal layers are dense and haunting, combining harshes and uncomfortable cleans into walls of throat-rending expression, complementing the dynamic chaos of these focused and compellingly unique compositions
Review: Summoner’s Circle – Chaos Vector
Summoner’s Circle arguably learns from past albums and illustrates a concise picture. This is a focused execution of dark synths, death-doom, and blackened death metal influences.
Review: Windfaerer – Breaths of Elder Dawns
A lovely epic folk/black metal album that is NOT sketchy.
Review: Khabal – The Divine Deception
This blackened deathcore album will chill you with its brutally crushing downtuned riffs, and agonizing gutturals. If you’re not mentally prepared for this album, I’d turn elsewhere.
Review: Voland – Voland III: Царепоклонство – Il culto degli Zar
Both members have done a great job of taking a less-traveled subject in metal and portraying it with every tool at their disposal.
